Nurse's Notes

NO, when people say they want to lose weight they probably mean: I want to feel better, I want to have more energy and less pain, I want to be in shape/build muscle/be stronger. I want to give my body proper nourishment instead of junk and improve my hair, skin, nails, etc. I want to be a better, healthier version of myself.

All of those things you listed can be achieved without weight loss, too and in fact, focusing on weight loss instead of building healthy behaviors leads people to losing their will to keep working at those behaviors when they've been at them and aren't losing weight-- because thanks to diet culture and people like you, they think the only reason to engage in healthy behaviors is the chance of weight loss.

Exercise and healthy eating are GREAT but won't result in weight loss for everyone (it won't even result in weight loss for MOST people since getting proper exercise and building muscle will UP your overall weight since muscle weighs more than fat does!).

Money on you either being a former fatty who hates themselves and is now engaged in super unhealthy dieting and over exercise to maintain your ~new and "healthy"~ body or you're someone who's naturally thin and thinks that makes them better than everyone else.

Either way, everyone dies, my friend. And guess what? It doesn't matter how in shape or skinny you are if you get his by a bus while jogging ✌

Fast food high in processed sugar and saturated fats (a common thing to cut back on when losing weight) has been known to cause or worsen acne and dental problems. They also tend to lack the essential vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables that promote healthy hair, nails, and skin.

There is a reason why people say that what goes into your body is a direct result of how it looks.

Furthermore, My blog is NOT dedicated to simply losing weight (as you seem to believe it is) it is dedicated to living healthier lives by making healthy sustainable lifestyle choices. I challenge you to find anywhere that I say weight loss is the ultimate goal of health.

Please take a moment to review the numerous cases in which I state that healthy living and eating is what is most important. As well as self love and care for your body.

“150 is not overweight by much, so don’t stress about 10-15 extra pounds. If you really feel, or a health professional feels that you would be better suited to a lower weight, then I would ask yourself why you feel ‘in a rut.’”

I could keep going. Those are just in the top 20ish recent posts

And I hope you didn’t put TOO much money on it because I have NEVER been naturally thin. I am NOT currently thin. I am in fact overweight, and after the events of 2020 am what would be classified as Obese. I do not hate myself, I do not engage in unhealthy dieting or extreme exercise to maintain a certain weight. I am obese and trying to lose the weight that I gained over 2020 by NOT loving myself, not taking care of myself and not eating properly.
